The GE Dash 9-40CW is a 4,000-horsepower (3,000 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania, between January 1996 and December 2004. 1,090 were built for Norfolk Southern Railway, as road numbers 8889 to 9978. 53 GE Dash 8-44CWs built to Dash 9 specifications were also built for CSX Transportation, carrying road numbers 9000 to 9052.

  • The GE Dash 9-40CW is a 4,000-horsepower (3,000 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania, between January 1996 and December 2004. 1,090 were built for Norfolk Southern Railway, as road numbers 8889 to 9978. 53 GE Dash 8-44CWs built to Dash 9 specifications were also built for CSX Transportation, carrying road numbers 9000 to 9052. Part of GE's "Dash 9" series of locomotives, the Dash 9-40CW shares its frame, HiAd trucks, 16-cylinder 7FDL engine, and 752AH-31 traction motors with the GE Dash 9-44CW. But while the more common 9-44CW offers 4,400 horsepower (3,300 kW), software in the 9-40CW's engine-governing unit restricts its power output to 4,000 horsepower (3,000 kW), although the engineer can override this restriction when desired. The Dash 9-40CW was basically an extension of the previous order for the standard cab GE Dash 9-40C, built under the same premise that a lower power rating would prolong the life of the engine and use less fuel. Early production units built for CSX were designed with carbodies externally identical to the predecessor Dash 8-40CW with the first three units of the series also being built on Dash 8-40CW frames, and were designated C44-8W originally, as they were built as 4400 horsepower units before being downrated to 4000 horsepower. The CSX units were equipped with GSC ''Floating Bolster'' 3 Trucks instead of the standard Hi-ad trucks commonly found on later models. In 2005, GE replaced the C40-9W in its locomotive catalog with the Evolution Series model, the ES40DC. Like the Dash 9-40CWs, Norfolk Southern's ES40DC locomotives are rated at 4,000 hp (3,000 kW) to conserve fuel. The change in output is accomplished electronically; mechanically, the two models are essentially the same. (en)

Comme c'est la tradition depuis les années 1970 avec les locomotives de type « Dash 7 », son identification « Dash 9 » signifie que sa fabrication a été lancée dans les années 1990. Elle possède des moteurs de traction à courant continu, tout comme la Dash 9-44CW dont elle est dérivée mais développant 4400 ch contre 4000 ch pour les Dash 9-40CW. La compagnie Norfolk Southern fut la seule à commander ce modèle dont la puissance était limitée par une butée à 4000 ch (Dash 9-40CW), les premières d'entre-elles possédaient une cabine étroite d'ancienne génération et étaient dénommées Dash 9-40C. Toutes ont depuis été modifiées pour pouvoir développer 4400 ch.En revanche, CSX Transportation a récemment réduit la puissance maximale de ses Dash 9 à 4000 ch. Elle a été produite de 1996 à 2004 à 1060 exemplaires, avant d'être remplacée par un modèle moins polluant, la GE ES40DC, afin de respecter les normes d'émissions de CO2 américaines entrées en vigueur en 2005.
